Hints of Outkast Friction

Despite the fact both Outkast members Big Boi and Andre 3000 profusely insist there is no beef between them, Big Boi recently spilled a little tea...

Big Boi is promoting his new album Dangerous Lies and Vicious Rumors and when the Village Voice asked why 3 Stacks didn't have a feature on the album Big Boi replied,

"He could've been on any song he wanted to. I gave the motherf**ker about five songs, but I guess he was just too busy. He said he had to do some Gillette s**t. No for real. He said he had some contractual obligations."

Ouch, considering Andre managed to fit in features for Rick Ross, T.I. and Frank Ocean this year.

I think it was just what Big Boi said "a joke"...I do think they probably have some creative and direction issues to resolve but that's about it. Outkast is by far the best thing in hip-hop since Tribe Called Quest, Wu-Tang Clan, and The Roots (as groups and duos goes). It would be disappointing if they are beefing, but I seriously doubt it.

Maybe because I'm sarcastic as hell but I took the Gillete comment as a sarcastic joke as well. Everybody wants everybody to be beefing. Sometimes schedules just don't coincide and nothing can be done about that. If they say they are cool then they are cool. Or at least acting like grown men and handling things behind closed doors and not on twitter like little bitches.

OUTKAST TO BE HONEST IS WACK APART THEY USED TO FEED OFF EACH OTHER AND THAT MADE THEM UN FUCKING BEATABLE. NOW ANDRE ON SOME ON BULLSHIT AND BOI JUST TRYING TO KEEP THE LIGHTS ON. YA FOOLS ABOUT 35+ THE GAME ALMOST OVER FOR YA. BLESS US WITH SOME REAL DOWNSOUTH GEORGIA BULLDOG SHIT. TALK THAT SHIT AND YOUR LEGEND GROWS. TALK ABOUT IMPROVING THE COMMUNITY. DO SOMETHING SHIT.

Some people say things as a joke but they're really covering the truth. I know if I was watching my bank account dwindle and I've been asking my partner to get back in the studio and he keeps saying he doesn't have time or is too busy but all I see him in is razor blade ads I'd be a little pissed too.

There's been friction between them for a long time, and i could tell by an interview they did years ago. Big Boi is an asshole, and Stacks wants no part of him. I don't blame him one bit. Do your thang Stacks. Fuck that bitch-ass Big Boi.

They are making a joke of the fact that due to their label owning them under the name OUTKAST, they are not allowed to record together. Real OUTKAST fans know that the only time they can be on a song together is when it is not their song. Big Boi explained this when he did his last solo album. They have a whole bunch of songs together on the last album that no one can ever hear for legal reasons. There may be some tension due to frustration, but hardly see hateration. This is also the reason Andre refuses to show face in anyone's video so that he can remain loyal to big boi...(i.e. Beyonce's Party)...They have stated this fact countless times. Hope they can get us some music soon!
